WASHINGTON (AFP) â€“ Two-thirds of Americans favor investigating whether the George W. Bush administration overstepped legal boundaries in its "war on terror," according to a poll released Thursday by USA Today and Gallup.

A majority of respondents said a probe should be launched into allegations that the Bush team used torture to interrogate terror suspects.

Investigators also should look into the former president's program of wiretapping US citizens without first securing court-issued warrants, respondents said.

About four respondents in 10 polled by USA Today (38 percent) favored criminal investigations, while about a quarter (24 percent) said they want an investigation without criminal charges being filed....continued

Do these same people realize that Obama has left open the ability to use torture if need be ... Oh he has but I don't think many know it. If we were to suffer another 9/11 type of event that language is written into the procedures for interrogation by the Obama administration. If he decided he needed to use torture ... I'm with him. How can it be called torture when it's used against a person who has little value for human life??? I guess if I was more left brained I would understand this ... because I still don't get it. One can kill, murder, bomb, shoot, knife someone but you can't torture them ... well okay then.
